Lines & Planes in Space · Hard problem

A searchlight beam travels in a straight line along the direction in which the planes 2x+y−z=32x+y-z=3 and x−y+2z=1x-y+2z=1 meet, starting from the point on that line where z=0z=0 and heading in the direction of increasing xx. After the beam has covered a distance of 3353\sqrt{35} units, find its zz-coordinate.
